In Greenland, there is a hotel made out of ice. In Turkey, there is a cave hotel. And in Bolivia, there is the Salt Palace Hotel. Thousands of years ago, the area around the Salt Palace Hotel was a large lake. But over time, all the water disappeared. Today, the area has only two small lakes and two salt deserts.In the early 1990s, a man named Juan Quesada built the hotel. He cut big blocks of salt from the desert and used the blocks to build it. Everything in the hotel is made out of salt: the walls, the roof, the tables, the chairs and the beds.The sun heats the walls and roof during the day.

Knowing if someone is lying can be useful. There are a number of behaviors that you can observe to help catch someone in a lie.Eyes, windows to the soul, can provide information about whether you are hearing the truth or a lie. Here is a simple experiment. Ask a friend or a family member to imagine their mother with green hair. You should notice that their eyes look up to their left while they are imagining their mother. Then ask them to think about what they did this morning and their eyes will probably look up to the right. Basically, eye movement to the left indicates the person is imagining something that is not real or did not happen. When the eyes move up and to the right, the person is remembering something that actually happened. Body language is another way to see if someone is telling tales. A professional poker (扑克) player will probably tell you not to believe someone whose hands touch their face, throat, or mouth. It seems that when we are being less than truthful our hands want to cover our face in some way. It is unlikely that a liar (someone who tells lies) will touch their chest with an open hand. Paying careful attention to how people talk can also help you catch someone in a lie. If a student is accused of copying homework, and is guilty, they are likely to get defensive. They may deny (否认) the copying and ask why the teacher does not like him or her, while an innocent person might be expected to take the offensive (进攻), explaining for example, how they got the ideas for the homework and convincing the teacher to talk to someone who saw them do the homework. You may also find a guilty person speaks more than is natural and adds lots of unnecessary details to their story in an attempt to convince you they are telling the truth. If you suspect this is happening, try changing the subject of your conversation quickly. A liar will happily follow your change of direction and will become more relaxed. But remember, just because someone is showing one or more of the signs associated with lying does not necessarily make them a liar. Some other forms of stress other than lying may explain their behavior, and some people exhibit these signs as normal behavior. However, if you need to distinguish a lie from the truth, these tips could be a good start. 28. When accused of copying, a student who cheats will try to _.A. prove his innocence by giving a wild story B. convince his teacher by taking offensive action C. figure out whether the teacher considers him guiltyD. cover his lies by keeping changing conversation topics29. In the last paragraph, the author intends to tell us that .A. some liars exhibit lying as normal behavior B. people should observe the signs to tell lies from truth C. there are still some other forms of stress other than lying D. some other forms of stress other than lying should be ignored30. What is the best title for the passage?A. What causes people to lieB. How a liar covers his liesC. What tricks a liar usesD. How to detect a lie31. What can we infer from the passage?A. Innocent people will not explain their stories in detail.B. Touching mouth is an effective way to hide dishonesty.C. Eye movement to the left indicates that the person is lying.D. Liars favor a new topic in hope of their lies going undetected.DEverybody wants it, everybody works for it, and nobody can live without it. What is it? Money, of course! How often people ask us, “Will you go on holiday this summer? Will you buy this? Will you do that? ” And very often the answer is , “It all depends” It all depends what? “It all depends” always means, “If I have enough money, I shall” Not only your simplest needs, but our wildest dreams are often connected with money . “If I win the national lottery（彩票）, I shall” Some people think it is the root of all evil（罪恶）, others think it will solve all the worlds problems.
